Roy Caouser had a solution to that problem in a paper he wrote titled
"Genesis on origins" (or something like that) in PSCF a few years ago.
(Both my ASA database and my old issues are at home. I can get the
complete citation tomorrow if someone needs it). IMO there are problems
with this solution, but perhaps it's useful to review what he said.
Essentially Clouser claimed that
1. God's act of breathing the breath of life into Adam consisted in
revealing Himself to a hominid, who became Adam.
2. Adam told his mate about God, and she became Eve.
By logical extension, Adam and Eve, the first "missionary couple" could
have then told the other members of their community about God, and those
who believed would have become men.
As I said above, I see a long list of problems with this approach, but
perhaps there is some germ of value in it.
